Yesterday, I gave a woman an invitation to my book launch. She looked at it and said, “That’s my granddaughter. She’s being bullied at school. She finds it so hard to cope.” My heart sank. I have been that girl.
When I was young, I told my mum I felt ugly. I told her I was being bullied. But she did not know how to help. She loved me, but she was unsure of what to do. That is why I wrote this book. Not to tell a perfect story, but to share a lived experience that might become a light for someone else.
I also received a message from a lady under our video. She said that even now, as an adult, she still carries the pain from her childhood. She's on heavy medication to cope with her depression. Her words reminded me that so many adults still silently carry these wounds, often with no safe space to address the shame or begin rebuilding their confidence.
I want every child, every teen, and every adult who still carries that pain to know this truth: You are not alone. You do not need to change your face or body to feel beautiful.
To all the parents, educators, community leaders, and people who want to make a difference, your presence matters. Together, we can shift the conversation and show the next generation that confidence does not come from filters or surgery. It begins from within.
I’d love to invite you to my upcoming author talks! I’ll be facilitating an engaging session at Albury LibraryMuseum, Wangaratta Library, and Shepparton Library throughout June and July 2025.

Feel free to share this message with someone who needs it.
